Sign Language Recognition is a breakthrough for communication among deaf-mute society and has been a critical research topic for years. Although some of the previous studies have successfully recognized sign language, it requires many costly instruments including sensors, devices, and high-end processing power. However, such drawbacks can be easily overcome by employing artificial intelligence-based techniques. Since, in this modern era of advanced mobile technology, using a camera to take video or images is much easier, this study demonstrates a cost-effective technique to detect American Sign Language (ASL) using an image dataset. Here, "Finger Spelling, A" dataset has been used, with 24 letters (except j and z as they contain motion). The main reason for using this dataset is that these images have a complex background with different environments and scene colors. Two layers of image processing have been used: in the first layer, images are processed as a whole for training, and in the second layer, the hand landmarks are extracted. A multi-headed convolutional neural network (CNN) model has been proposed and tested with 30% of the dataset to train these two layers. To avoid the overfitting problem, data augmentation and dynamic learning rate reduction have been used. With the proposed model, 98.981% test accuracy has been achieved. It is expected that this study may help to develop an efficient human-machine communication system for a deaf-mute society.

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are primarily intended to help drivers in traffic and to increase driving safety. Today a large number of engineers are developing different algorithms for ADAS. This results in large quantity of written program codes on a daily basis, which has to be tested. Note that a manual testing and writing a code for the manual testing is an arduous task. To satisfy the increasing testing needs, and to accelerate the testing process, we developed a graphical environment that allows users to create automated tests quickly and efficiently by a simple drag and drop method. The environment was created using a *** server, MongoDB and Blockly. Blockly was used to create blocks and to combine blocks to make scripts, i.e., automated tests for ADAS. *** was used to save blocks into the MongoDB database and to load existing blocks into the environment. The environment enables users to use existing blocks to create Python scripts and their own blocks which can be used to create Python scripts, and to edit or remove existing blocks. The environment was tested manually. Testing results showed that all functionalities work properly and that the environment enables users to generate different scripts for automated testing in an order of seconds.

In this paper, the design of a permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMASynRM or PMASRM) is presented as a replacement for a suitable permanent magnet in a simulated synchronous reluctance motor (synrm). In addition to solving the important problems faced by typical synchronous reluctance motors (low power factor and high torque ripple) it can provide more power of coping and then other common motors such as induction motors (IM). A common motor model was created for simulation in Maxwell finite element software. Then, ferrite and neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets were compared as the permanent magnet The results show that the fields of average torque, Back-emf voltage and efficiency, and the torque ripple are all greater in the neodymium-iron-boron magnet than the ferrite magnet. Finally the power factors for both magnets are calculated from the power, voltage and current simulations as 0.68 in ferrite magnet and 0.89 in neodymium-iron-boron magnet. The results also indicated that a higher power factor in the second model than the first one.

Since all people used vehicles as a necessity, the growing number of vehicles is increasing day by day. With the increasing number of vehicles on the road, the requirement of parking lot will also be restricted. Thus, it become a problem for the people to find a free parking space in the busy building especially in shopping complex. Internet of Things (IoT) is an interesting technology that can be applied in this paper because this technology has a capability to transfer the data over a network without requiring human intervention in almost all applications in today's society. In this paper, a user-friendly mobile application, named as Android-based Car Parking Monitoring System (ACPMS) is built to aid in locating a particular parking place. ACPMS can provide a user with the ability to check vacant parking space and locate the nearest parking lot. ACPMS obtained the parking location from the current user's position with the sensor located in the shopping complex's parking lot. ACPMS is testing in a realistic environment for the purpose of movement detection and location service to notify user using the mobile application. By considering seven test case scenarios, the combination of the ACPMS mobile application with a parking prototype kit shows that the proposed work able to solve the parking problem.
